In this tab, we will define all the search criteria (properties, file type, configurations, etc.).

The list of criteria can be displayed as follows:

The proposed criteria groups are fixed. You cannot remove or add any of them.

• Most of the criteria are "Free Text" fields. This means you simply need to enter a value. The " * " (wildcard) character allows you to leave the field blank.
• To analyze files that have one or more named properties, you can select the names from a list.

By default, when you select several properties, the "OR" operator is used, but it is possible, by checking the option, to use the "AND" operator.

Repeat this step if you want to add multiple properties.

To remove a property from the search criteria, simply select it and click on the icon. .

So, in this example, only the files containing these two named properties with these values will be analyzed.

• Some properties may meet a specific criterion.

Example: " Assemblies " with " a number of components " ranging " from 0 to 100 components."

To reset all criteria, simply right-click on any criterion and select "Reset".New search".

The advanced search criteria are displayed as follows:
